Ghost of a flea: Torri Higginson

Torri Higginson

It is a canconorama at Stargate: Atlantis as the Flea Presents Great Canadians� honours the hotness that is Torri Higginson as Dr. Elizabeth Weir.

I'm like a ragamuffin in real life. I don't wear makeup, I don't brush my hair. I'm a bit of a scrubmuffin.

Flea-readers wondering just where the Pegasus galaxy might be when it is at home should consult a useful map of our galactic neighbourhood.* In related Canadian spelling are the words colour and centre!

*Sorry to hotlink that image. I could not find a link to it from B.J.'s Stuff except from the directory. It really is an extraordinarily useful visualization of where we are in the Milky Way in relation to the rest of the locals.

Extraordinarily useful is an understatement. There are many (and there is much about) astronomical depictions of space that have no reference point to triangulate, stabilise, and establish the view in a greater context. It's part of what Sci-Fi should be doing as it's eminently capable of, but often does badly.
